little stroll and to see how kirsty is getting on once again we've got a glut of courgettes which is fantastic because oh they're looking good hang on there's a huge one there that's more of a marrow situation yes we leave them on friday and they're tiny and they'll come back and boom and they're enormous oh they're great they're doing really well now i love the flowers they're so pretty yeah the cucumbers are doing really well i love these cucumbers now we've had them in the garden before but never this variety i don't know the name of it but it's the best i will find out we've probably got the packets the seed packet in there but did you taste them i did they're really sweet yeah they are and not bitter at all no bitterness no um which is brilliant let's get more of those for next year because they're a huge triumph definitely definitely yeah they're really nice thank you black currant liqueur cassis like currently cure would be a really good idea definitely it's the cure i love that idea monster raspberries is that raspberries these yeah these whoa really really heavily cropped this year hang on i'm just gonna have the one should we just say it fell off yeah you saw it fall and it fell and then it was grou it was grabbed by a peacock it was great by the peacock yeah yeah terrible thing that happened to it we've got the yellow raspberries too yeah yellow ones some more yellow ones on the the younger plants on the other bed it's gone a bit sprawly but it's happy it seems to love this weather everything seems to love this weather yes it's all this rain yeah so how are the chickens doing in the little house did you set it up yes it's all set up raring to go that there's um they've got food and water in there the runs open so that they're exploring the orchard okay in the shade so it's lovely and cool in there it'll be nice for them to have a little bit of privacy yeah it will be it'll be nice for you to have them further from the seedlings yes yes it's for their safety how is it now the vegetables [Laughter] they look really happy they they are they're loving the freedom in there it's a nice big run for them i'm it's quite curious because next month we've got uh another chicken house rife and it's quite a big glamorous one excellent are they going to still prefer to stay in this little one well they've got the choice they've got the choice of two now this is almost like the camper version yes little botox caravan i think it's quite cute i believe it's made of recycled car tires oh that's clever yeah so uh so it's very hard wearing very hard wearing easy to keep clean yeah perfect for them i love seeing nancy and beethoven always together yes little friends there you go thank you i really enjoyed our garden walk see you later bye ladies i think this is going to be good i love it when you get excited about your thing because i know it will be delicious yum yes i think now it's the more complicated part which is cooking the strawberries and all the fruits right to do like um the jelly okay yum it's my first time here what's going on you've transformed from earlier that is a great dress i went for a run and it started raining okay a run is big i went for a walk and it started pouring so we decided too that we were gonna change the tone of the day i love it it is gorgeous thank you and i i want some when is it ready it would keep asking i'm taking you all upstairs to the bedroom wing to the chandra du park where philip is putting together matty's wardrobe because nutty's going to be moving to this room and it's up hey i'm sorry i thought i'd find it still in pieces no i've got just two of the shelves in but i think that's about right so this one was just shelves although we need to put a rail in for her exactly yeah the only thing i'm worried about is this not being deep enough for closed hangar i'm so excited i think it will be i think it's just about okay i have never seen this one up this is the one that we bought in salat yes can you close it so i can have a look at the front it's actually quite pretty and i uh use some of matty's shoe boxes so she has like face first shoes and then she uses a shelf fantastic it's really pretty wow yes it is it's so rococo it's so ridiculously over the top but i thought it was you know a little too much but now i see it it works well yeah the bed is going to be incredible it's going to be it's crazy i love it you seen the key that comes with it oh is it yeah i think i remember him telling me when he delivered it that the and what about the top bit up here there's a missing oh we got it it was just we're in the bag okay how does it look with that yes yes yes it needs that it's fantastic i love it in the same auction in which phillip bought epic mouse with hordes the kiss i'd spotted this little dressing table and i knew that natty didn't have one to match this suite of furniture and i think of all the things natty needs she needs a dressing table so i bought it in the auction and unbelievably i didn't think philip would be able to fit into the car but he did and here it is it's so cute it's a 1960s dressing table mary is well with the wardrobe and natty didn't have one did i tell you that i found the original invoice uh in there are you serious can we look at it yeah it's in the it's in the other room oh will you grab it because i'd really like to look at it 14th of march 1963 in the hague let's have a look 1963 yeah and this is everything that she bought so she must have bought them new in 63 and the others were all in this sale as well okay but we just got the dressing table and the mirror the mirror um was sold separately okay um from the dressing table and i bought them together so the mirror was 175 florins yes and the dressing table 515 florence so gilda's yes i don't know what that is uh in today's monday they converted it i think one euro was worth worth two gilders okay so it's i think it's changed uh with inflation now good grief that was quite an expensive transfer totals couple of hundred euros in 1963. and the seat is the one that we used for a christmas corner i bought the whole thing for 175 euros i think so yeah yeah and that's pretty good deal i think i'm happy with that and it's so lovely to have the original invoice with it definitely going to keep this again it smells amazing and something new has happened in here i have to make the dough because i forgot to buy it oh no i'm so sorry we went yesterday with the steward to the supermarket in 10 minutes we bought from for yesterday for today for the table of cheese of the gas etc and of course i forgot something i told her i'm doing a recipe from argentina wow look at someone i don't know this could be michael potts maybe put other kind of flour in the plain flower thing right that's it we tried to make he's banned from the chateau i will be letting him know well i think you're being a little bit nervous a plain flower yes so we try to make a normal empanadas though you know what will happen he'll just bat his massively long eyelashes at everyone and we'll be like oh fine it will make a breath for us i mean i'm sad for you that you're having to make it but i'm really happy to try an argentinian one that's going to be nice it's going to be cool i've been filming all day for shadow diys the very last day of filming for this series but there's a huge crack in the windscreen of the car and because we're going to italy it really needed to be repaired and the men have just come all the way to do it which is amazing merci beaucoup they said i'm not allowed to wash the car for three days so okay we'll have a slightly grubby car for italy but a sparklingly clean windscreen look at this and i'm allowed to take the tape off it in one hour now i'm ready for a long journey so many different things going on today just constant filming but it's incredible that we've got to the end of this series and i don't know when filming for the next series will start but it means that i can go away on holiday knowing that everything's finished and i can relax yes tell us all about this is the last time i'm cooking [Laughter] you started cooking at eleven yes save some space for the cell please because i'm proud of that oh yes and you're supposed to when you eat the meat ones you then squirt lemon on them oh yeah does that have a little lemon here yep i have a meatloaf i'm going to show you [Music] i know you're deeply traumatized but i love it cara i cannot believe you finally got here after what a year and a half uh it's almost two years i think since the first time we discussed it yes yes it's insane well welcome thank you i'm very happy to be here um i probably won't get all of it turned into wool but i'll get a lot of it well i'll clean it all and comb it all so then you can have other people maybe come and i'm honestly i'm so excited it's going to be fabulous really fabulous knitting of course in the attic because that's where people keep their wheels yes so i'm going to turn all your straw into gold well honestly i could do with a nap and 100 years sounds great so go for it beauty time it's made it and it's perfect i've always tried it can i win the competition now with my dessert where are these golden raspberries these are these ones yep the yellow raspberries from the garden

you know it look at your face it's so good well welcome both of you super happy to have you here today is starting in a great way because annelise is coming around to do my hair and it is much needed i wonder if she can make me look as magnificent as you thought sorry sif i mean you look great too but you know what i mean you're looking very picturesque outside my bedroom window today you too i have my essential reading material ready i'm sure many of you do exactly the same thing and use the time at the hairdressers as this moment of calm outside everyday life feels like i'm going to a spa morning selma how are you it's a bit early for us isn't it that was a little bit late last night yeah but it was fun yeah just so nice having cara here and stuart but i'm so sad stuart's left yes she was really fun yeah an incredible incredible health sweet yeah incredible but today kim comes back yes she is amazing so nice i've decided that one always has to have a power chocola whilst having one's hair done you look at some new rules why not no new housework yeah what more can anyone want you look so serious i thought what what is she going to say the time has come hasn't it annalise the foils are coming out it has we'll see how the colors come out we're trying something new today [Laughter] so ultimately what i've done in the end was i've done it so we've done the bright blonde and like a high lift blonde throughout the parting and around the hairline um and then i've done the dark pops kind of underneath to add depth so the back there's apparently there's bits of dark there's darker slices through the back you can see that just to add you kind of this is very clever just to add some pop pops of color so when your hair moves you can have different different tones i love it because obviously i've been using a new color house and yes you've kind of been a little bit of a guinea pig i'm like trying different colors and i'm really happy i'm really really happy with this result i like it too i'm actually going finally to italy i love italy so much and i'm going next week for a few days to tuscany so i'm gonna be amazing thanks to y'all we're feeling super have you

anyway so you see the sun and you're like i know what i need a flame thrower [Music] it's amazing seeing them just disappear yep they um they shrivel to nothing and yeah most of them admit defeat most of them die back yeah um there's a few stubborn ones daddy lions are the worst bits around the fountain because of course they keep getting watered by the splashing of the fountains so they're really happy there that's the war on the yeah the elements but um the other thing is i can't get too close to the box hedge with it because yeah it's none you know it doesn't discriminate just yeah yeah yeah

looks really nice okay well leave your burning weeds oh thank you just get a close-up because it's always fun to watch okay [Music] i had to run up to get change because the weather's turned absolutely rubbish again we're having one of the coldest french summers on record it's it's so bizarre and we go through all seasons every single day every day it's boiling hot for a moment then
